Immortality
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future… He who was seated on the throne said, I am making everything new! Then he said, write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." (Jeremiah 29:11; Revelation 21:5)
God’s plan has never changed. When bible teachers attempt to categorize certain “economies” or “administrations” or “dispensations” in a progressive manner they do so without any outline or direct statements of such a thing in the Scripture. Doing so does help us see historically how certain cultures lived in relation to their understanding of God. But it also limits a God without limits.

God’s plan never changes. He creates imperfection, totally destroys the imperfect and recreates perfection from the ashes. And it is not a “circle of life”, but a straight line that begins in imperfection and mortality and along His infinite highway that mortal, sinful, failed life rises from the ashes to become immortal...all for the glory of our limitless God.
“…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.” (Isaiah 61:3)
